ST. ANDREW’S NET: SPANNING THE GLOBES

Written by Matt / 05.15.08

"Saint Andrew's Net" is With Leather's daily link dump, written by the bane of respectable journos and scrupulous primates alike, Michael Tunison. Expect sports and tits.

  • RizzoSports Blog uncovers a contest with a prize of a 15-minute phone conversation with Anna Kournikova. Only if I can place the call from a few years ago.
  • Tirico Suave scales to great heights to bring the tale of Mountainous Marbury.
  • Blue Monkey Disco Party ticks off the things Tom Brady dislikes other than the NFL. Hopefully on the list: "himself".
  • Vegas Watch looks at Brandon Webb's chances at 30 wins. I'm content to look at Aria Valentino. (NSFW)
  • Foul Balls questions why O.J. Mayo shoudn't be allowed to have an agent after all. My agent told me to link to that.

SHARAKOVA? KOURNIPOVA?

Written by Matt / 04.07.08

<i>Maaaaaaaaaaaake ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuut</i>” title=”<i>Maaaaaaaaaaaake ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuut</i>” class=”alignright size-full wp-image-41″ /><p>The Kickoff Party for the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami was actually back on March 26th, but I didn't learn about it until this morning.  My invitation must have gotten lost in the mail.</p><p>It was a momentous occasion, if only because the two most famous tennis-playing Russian-American blondes got together <a href=for a photo, thus providing the creative spark sports dorks have needed to write lesbian fan fiction about Anna Kournikova and Maria Sharapova.

On a side note, I'm really tired of sportswriters and talking heads who slam Kournikova for retiring without ever winning a tournament.   That's pretty unfair, right?  There are hundreds and hundreds of athletes in all sports who have never achieved the pinnacle of achievement; that's no need to bring them down.  Why is it Anna's fault she's good-looking but not the best tennis player in the world?  It's just sad.  I hope that someday in the future we can learn to appreciate women for their looks and not always judge them on their accomplishments.

ANNA KOURNIKOVA HAS A LOVING BOYFRIEND

Written by Matt / 06.28.07

Anna Kournikova not only failed at her tennis career, she has also failed as a person.

Marriage rumors swirl about Latin heartthrob Enrique Iglesias and tennis champ [editor's note: champ?] Anna Kournikova, but the singer envies the unattached lifestyle of his pals who play for the other team. "My stylist is gay and lives in L.A.," he tells the new issue of Genre magazine, on stands July 2, "and when he came to Miami, he went out. And I asked, ‘Your boyfriend doesn't care?' And he said, 'We have an understanding if I'm out of the city.' When I saw George Michael, he said the same thing… I'm going to have to have a talk with my girl!"

At least he's being forthright about his commitment issues.  If Anna wants to keep this handsome prince she'll have to give him what he wants: the freedom to screw men when he goes to other cities.

CHECKING IN WITH ANNA KOURNIKOVA

Written by Matt / 05.18.07

Anna Kournikova retired from tennis having never won a major championship, which is fine with me because she's much better at K-Swiss commercials and dressing up for the red carpet than she ever was at tennis.  There's been talk around the bloggerhood that she's gotten too skinny, but she looks plenty okay in these pics from the American Image Awards earlier this week.  And if you know what the American Image Awards are, you get a gold star because I've sure as hell never heard of them.  I'm guessing it's just an excuse for famous people to dress up, congratulate each other for being famous, then go out and do drugs in exclusive clubs.

Sounds like a pretty good time if you ask me.

ANNA KOURNIKOVA GOT TOLD, YO

Written by Matt / 04.20.07

Sexy spokesperson and failed tennis player Anna Kournikova got served in Miami, and not in the good way like at most restaurants.

Kournikova probably wished she'd bitten her tongue after she yelled at a Miami Beach surfer and his sunbathing puppy, "That dog should be on a [bleep]ing leash!" The surfer snapped back, "Maybe you should be on a [bleep]ing leash!" 

Oh snap.  Kournikova reportedly failed to make the correct comeback, which is "Maybe YOUR MOM should be on a fucking leash!"

But seriously, I'd like to have Anna on a leash.  Or maybe a heavy chain around her neck, like how Jabba the Hutt had Princess Leia in the last Star Wars movie.  And if Anna wore the metal bikini, all the better. In conclusion, "your mom" jokes are always acceptable comebacks.
